– PRESS RELEASE –<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The municipal council of the Town of Sutton wishes to inform the population of a situation that is, to say the least, worrying, surrounding the future of the Foyer de charit\u00e9 de Sutton, and more specifically with regard to the decision of its Board of Directors to reject out of hand the community project proposed by the Town.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The Foyer de charit\u00e9, 83 Principale Str. North, Sutton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since the final closure of the Foyer de charit\u00e9 de Sutton on July 27, the Town of Sutton has made numerous approaches to the directors of the non-profit organization Villa Ch\u00e2teauneuf Inc. which is responsible for managing the assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Board of Directors has always refused to discuss a community centre project with the Town of Sutton, the mayor or his representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe made an offer of mediation, we proposed a meeting with them and local leaders, but both were refused. The board members\u2019 objective is unequivocal: to block the Sutton project. And yet, it seems logical and beneficial to develop a project in collaboration with the various partners, whose spin-offs will benefit all our citizens,\u201d explains Robert Beno\u00eet, Mayor of the Town of Sutton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A unifying, multifunctional project<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, the Town wishes to create a non-profit organization to manage the community centre in order to accommodate several social organizations and make it a unifying, multifunctional space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe propose an exciting project, defined by the community, chosen and transparently managed by the community through a non-profit corporation to be set up. A project that would bring together Sutton\u2019s community, economic and cultural groups! The need is there, and we have a heritage gem that could be fully occupied, while fulfilling the ambitions of the patron, Mr. Eugene Dyer*, who donated the land and a considerable sum of money that enabled the construction of the Villa Ch\u00e2teauneuf building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, it was his wish that the donated plots of land should be used, employed and enjoyed forever by the said donees and their successors, for educational purposes, in the English and French languages, in the village of Sutton\u201d, says Mr. Beno\u00eet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community project in jeopardy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Board of Directors of Villa Ch\u00e2teauneuf Inc. appears instead to prefer to offer the entire property to the Le Cha\u00eenon organization. \u201cAs noble as their mission may be, we believe that the project we are presenting respects the vision of Eugene and George Dyer and his current family, who have given us their agreement,\u201d insists Mayor Beno\u00eet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, the Town of Sutton believes there are two options for a reasonable resolution to this situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Le Cha\u00eenon needs to renounce its acceptance of the donation offered by Villa Ch\u00e2teauneuf, so as not to aggravate an already polarized situation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The Chairman of the Board agrees to meet, along with representatives of the Diocese of Saint-Hyacinthe, a delegation of the Town Council and citizens of Sutton to discuss the terms of a harmonious transition towards the creation of a community centre in the Foyer de Charit\u00e9 building for the benefit of the citizens of Sutton.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cWe would like to make it clear that the Town\u2019s position in this matter is in no way against Le Cha\u00eenon. We recognize the organization\u2019s very positive social record, but for the good of the Sutton community, the Town intends to continue to make every effort to ensure that the site and building benefit Sutton citizens first and foremost,\u201d concludes the mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
